Garage Sale Trail, Saturday 26 October

Join Hilary Harper, this Saturday from 8.30am as she broadcasts live from the Boyd Community Hub, in South Melbourne to celebrate the Garage Sale Trail. The program will cover sustainability, vertical living, decluttering and she'll chat to stall holders and hear from other Garage Sales sites across the state, as well as all the Shows regulars.

Get involved in Australia's biggest Garage Sale on Saturday 26 October, find a bargin, de-clutter and pass on your unwanted items sustainably, as garages and stalls all across the country open, giving buyers the opportunity to visit numerous sales all in one day.

Spring is a great time to clean out wardrobes, storerooms and garages. You'll be amazed at what you find under the house or in the attic. Let your something old, be someone elses garage sale gold!

ABC Local Radio is asking all those whose sheds are full to bursting, wardrobes spewing clothes and shelves heaving with dusty knick-knacks to have a spring clean and jump on the trail by hosting their own garage sale on Saturday 26 October.

Register for free online at the Garage Sale Trail website and find out tips about getting ready to host a garage sale that makes good money while ensuring unwanted items are given a new life with a new owner instead of ending up in landfill.

Garage Sale Trail aims to promote re-use, reduce waste to landfill, create awareness about illegal dumping, unite communities, and stimulate local economies. If you no longer want the item, but it's still in good or reasonable condition, it's highly likely that it can be sold to someone else.

You can also choose to donate your proceeds to a charity of your choice.

The first Garage Sale Trail took place in Bondi in May 2010. Now in its 3rd year nationally, Garage Sale Trail is proudly supported by ABC Local Radio.
